Erm, that's not quite true is it? Whilst I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, I think there were only a couple of tunes recorded during the time that Sgt Pepper was being recorded that turned up elsewhere: 'Only a Northern Song' and 'Magical Mystery Tour' itself, both from April 1967. The next Magical Mystery Tour tune that was recorded was 'Your Mother Should Know' and that wasn't recorded until after Sgt Pepper was actually released.
